    Eco bamboo tours are outstanding. All communication with Edison (the owner) beforehand was clear and v responsive. We got a great deal with 10%off and some free upgrade accommodation as we booked so early (6 months) plus a personal tour with our guide Herbert and his amazing pop up van. They are a small, specialised, local, community based company. The company gives a percentage of profits to the community (we saw some of the water wells and benefits of this). Edison met us personally at the end for our feedback. Herbert was an outstanding tour guide. All organisation throughout was meticulous. His knowledge and passion for the job and animals shone through. Herbert was personally clearly invested in ensuring we had the best time and couldn’t do enough for us. We saw all the animals plus more we wanted including elusive hyenas and leopards on the last night time game drive. Herbert’s ability to drive through rough terrain and spot animals whilst we were standing up looking through the roof was amazing. And brilliant. Plus he answered any questions including the agriculture, people, animals, politics and more. The tour involved a huge amount of driving across Uganda with 3 different safaris, 3 treks, 2 boat drives and 1 nighttime as well as Murchison falls. All done with consummate skill and care. (15 point turn on single dirt impassable track in middle of African plains anyone?) We always felt safe and supported - particularly important as 2 women travelling together. All treks (gorilla, golden monkey, chimps and rhino) Herbert ensured we specifically knew our ranger/porter and they knew us. Ugandan people were lovely and welcoming everywhere. (Even immigration!!). Rightly proud of their country. And the animals…. We saw the big 5 plus mountain gorillas, giraffes and more. Truly an epic adventure. I would have no hesitation recommending bamboo ecotours from our experience. 10/10.
